House Recognizes Armenian Genocide - Again
The House reaffirmed by a 405-to-11 vote that the U.S. government should recognize Armenian Genocide of 1915-16 (link). A similar House resolution passed in 1984 but the U.S. government didn't act.
Governments of 28 nations, including Canada, Sweden, Italy, France, Argentina, Germany, Poland, Brazil and Russia, recognize the Armenian Genocide (in six of these countries denial of this genocide has been criminalized). It’s been recognized by the European Parliament and by the Catholic Church. All but two US states formally recognize the genocide. The government of the United States of America does not - evidently, not wanting to upset Turkey.
It's time to do the right thing.
